Okay, so I made a mistake
I didn't realize how much time teaching this PDU and weekly group was going to take. Instead of having time to work on my original passion project of learning Italian, I am finding much of my spare time absorbed by this work. Well, I guess that my passion project is now the teaching of a passion project.
It actually makes some sense. Everyone else is pursuing something they want to learn more about in their spare time, and this is what I wanted to learn more about!
